Career
Club career
He began to play football in Ivorian teams, including as part of Africa Sport , won the league title and twice reached the final of the Cup of the country.
In 1998, he moved to Switzerland and played for Zurich , but played only two matches in the Swiss championship , then moved to another club from Zurich - Young Fellows Juventus , who played in the third division, and showed very high performance. In the winter of 2000/01 he moved to Yverdon and with this club became the finalist of the Cup of the country , but flew out of the top division. In the middle of the 2001/02 season he moved to Ville and in his composition became the winner of the second division. In total, he spent six seasons in Switzerland and during that time played 38 matches in the top division and scored 14 goals, in the second division - 46 matches and 18 goals, and in the third division he had almost one hundred percent performance - 76 games and 75 goals.
In 2004, he transferred to the Turkish “ Diyarbakırspor ”, but did not gain a foothold and already in the next transfer window moved to the Azerbaijani “ Karvan ”. In this club, the forward immediately became the main player, scored the first goal in the championship of Azerbaijan on March 18, 2005 in the game against Turan, and in all in the first season he scored 6 goals and won bronze medals with the club. The following season he became the silver medalist of the championship and his top scorer with 16 goals, as well as the finalist of the Azerbaijan Cup . In the 2006/07 season, he scored 10 times, but his team no longer fought for medals.
Before the start of the 2007/08 season, he moved to Khazar-Lankaran [1] , in the first round of the new championship, on August 12, 2007, took part in the game against his former club Karvan and scored a decisive goal in the 36th minute. At the end of the season, he won the Azerbaijan Cup, but missed a significant part of the season due to injury. During the next season, he left the team without permission, explaining his decision by the manifestations of racism on the part of coach Rasim Kara [2] [3] , but the coach rejected these charges, explaining that he did not trust the player because of age and competition from other forwards.
A few months later, the attacker returned to Azerbaijan and joined the Karvan [4] . As part of a team from Yevlakh, he spent a non-productive season and in December 2009 he was terminated from the contract [5] , after which the football player ended his playing career.
